I don't think Zeus died.
In the 5th century BC, Darius 1, or Darius the Great ruled Persia. At the time, it was a true empire. He installed distributed governing, by dividing the country and assigning Satraps to rule the parts in his name. He also uniformed the monetary system, the language and he pretty much wrote the Imperialist 101. Clever chap, really.
This changed over the centuries. Sparta was ruled by two kings, a council. and an assembly Athens was ruled first by a king, then an aristocracy, then by a tyrant, then by an assembly of the people. Persia was ruled by a king and his council.
Darius, who ruled from 521 BC to 486 BC added a new Persian province in western India. He then conquered Thrace in Europe, created the world's largest empire to that time. Contact with Greece led Darius to invade the Greek mainland. He also created an army known as the immortals because whenever a member was killed, he was immediately replaced. So what I'm trying to say is that he is was the guy who led Persia to victory and power.

I am not sure what you are trying to ask here. If you're asking where King Darius ruled, it's Persia. I have no clue what you mean by Meade, I've never heard of that before...
Darius I ruled Persia (The Persian Empire) in the 5th century BC.
Persia was ruled first by king Darius then King Xerxes. The Greek city-states were ruled by their aristocracies.
